I Want To Be In

People In New York Just Seem A Lot More Open Than I Thought They Would Be.

I Was Quite Straight-laced. I Was Quite Academic Until I Was About 14 And Then I Went To Boarding School Where I Had The Opportunity To Continue To Be Very Academic, But Got Less Interested In It And Became More Involved In Acting. And Then When I Was Applying For Universities I Used A Couple Of Places On My Ucas Form To Apply For Drama School Without Telling Anyone... But Didn't Get Into Drama School. But That Was The Most Rebellious Thing I Did.

When I Went To The Oscars - The Only Time I've Ever Been To The Oscars - A Few Years Ago, I Wore This Prada Dress Covered In Cooking Utensils. I Got Drunk At The End Of The Night And Started Ripping Them Off And Giving Them As Presents To People, So That Was Fun. I'm Pretty Sure That Was The Point Of It, That's How Miuccia Meant For It To Go I'm Sure.

The Thinnest I've Ever Been Was After I Had My Appendix Out, During The London Run Of The Seagull. I Went Down To 112 Pounds And Realized My Brain Doesn't Work When I'm That Thin, So I Can't Do My Job. That's Why, When I Came Out Here, I Never Had That Whole Hollywood Pressure Thing. I Never Said I Wanted To Be A Lead Actress; I Never Said I Wanted To Be A Film Actress. This Need To Trump Everyone Bewilders Me. I'm Only 25. I'm Not Better Than Anyone. I Just Want To Watch Other People And Learn To Be Good.

The Toughest Part Of Acting Is Never A Single Thing. It's More Like A Whole Character. I Find Film Really Difficult - Trying To Make It Feel Like A Consistent Character When You're Filming Everything Out Of Order.
